Whittier Chiropractor Sounds Off On Hearing Loss Relief

 

When it comes to the benefits of chiropractic care, consistent findings have uncovered its significant relief abilities for a variety of symptoms, including hearing loss-related deficiencies and abnormalities. Allowing these deficiencies to persist can culminate in social ostracism, employment difficulties, and even clinical depression.

To document clinical improvements following a series of chiropractic care trials in an older patient with vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, a study used a 75-year-old female with such symptoms. She endured an intensification of these symptoms five weeks prior to being given chiropractic care. Radiographs showed a C3 retrolisthesis with significant degenerative alterations C4-C7. Furthermore, noteworthy drops in audiologic abilities were witnessed, and the RAND 36 Health Survey showed self-reported distress.

The end result of the study included the patient being pleased with the upper cervical-specific chiropractic care she received. Paraspinal bilateral skin temperature differential evaluation was used to decide when an upper cervical adjustment needed to be applied. Radiographic analysis was also used to understand the particular characteristics of the misalignment found in the upper cervical spine. Following proper chiropractic therapy, the patient's symptoms of hearing deficiency were ameliorated, while structural and functional improvements were witnessed via radiographic evaluation, and audiologic function also got better.

In conclusion, the clinical progress seen in this case study suggests that continued upper cervical manipulation could offer benefits to patients suffering from tinnitus and hearing loss. That being said, future research that examines the association between the relief of hearing loss and expert chiropractic adjustments needs to be had. By performing more in-depth research into the countless benefits of chiropractic care, more and more people will finally be able to experience the relief that comes from working with an experienced doctor of chiropractic.
